Delicious crunchy treats made using only 5 main ingredients! They're super easy to make and require no-baking. You can use any moulds you like or press the mixture into a loaf tin to make bars instead. Chocolate + PB + a bit of crunch is always a great combination!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 170g smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil* Omit if using runny peanut butter
  • 60ml maple syrup**
  • 80g cornflakes*** or crunchy cereal of choice
  • Pinch of salt

For the coating

  • 150g dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Add the peanut butter, coconut oil (if using any), maple syrup and a pinch of salt to a saucepan. Heat on a gentle flame until everything has softened and combined together.
  • Take off the heat and fold in the cornflakes. Mix until coated.
  • Divide between moulds of choice (I used small round moulds) or press into a loaf tin lined with baking paper.
  • Freeze for 2 hours or until set, then carefully remove from the moulds/tin. Slice into bars if you set the mixture in a loaf tin.
  • Break up the chocolate in a heat-proof dish and add the coconut oil. Melt in the microwave (checking on it every 10 seconds to make sure if doesn't burn!) or using a double boiler method.
  • Dip the set cornflake bites/bars into the chocolate, then arrange on a chopping board/sheet lined with baking paper.
  • Transfer to the fridge until the chocolate has set.
  • Store in an air-tight container in the freezer and remove 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

* If your peanut butter is runny, you can omit the coconut oil. I added it to soften up my peanut butter so it's easier to fold in the cornflakes. 
** You can use other liquid sweeteners like honey, agave, etc. You can also use a sugar-free liquid alternative to make it lower in calories & sugar. 
*** Any crunchy cornflake/cereal will work.
